Up-Cycled Thank you

Welcome.

I trust you year has started well, and continues in like vein.

I had a few minutes in my studio the other day and made this card.

I started with the image panel, which is a trimming that I was given some time ago in a packet of images. I swiped the edges with violet ink, and layered it over some lemon card that I had embossed and sponged.

As our card stock is based on English sizes, and the embossing folders are sized to American paper, I end up with a blank strip across the top.

This is why the ribbon - with a wee hand made tag tucked under the bow. The stamp is a Stampin' Up one I was given as part of an hostess gift years ago, stamped in Moonlight White ink.

Here is a close up of the original panel, which has a lovely embossed texture.

Hello sweet Maxine! I was so excited to see that you had linked up in this week's challenge. I always LOVE coming by to see your art, and I hope that you are having an excellent week. Thanks for sharing with us!Blessings,KarenWord Art Wednesday

It's never too early to think of Spring and your beautifull card, with those images and pastels is a sign of wintwer ending. The images look very real. The sweet yellow matte enhances the beauty of the dsp. I was very excited to see you will be doing the 52 weeks of Gratitude so I will get to see more of your art. Thank you for joining us at Word Art Wednesday. Come in and join us often.Carole Robb BissonMay the Lord Bless you and keep you!

Such a lovely embossed panel, and perfect to become the focal point of this card. The ribbon at the top is great and it looks as if you purposely did not emboss the yellow panel to accommodate it! A beautiful card all around!
